Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korean financial authorities have detected a large number of scanning attempts targeting financial institutions from IP addresses associated with North Korea, urging companies to exercise extra caution, KBS World reports. This comes amid a series of cyberattacks on local financial firms, including Daishin Securities, Mirae Asset Global Investments, and cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb, which have confirmed customer data breaches, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The presidential office convened an emergency meeting on October 28 to discuss responses, with Song Ki-ho, vice chief of Cheong Wa Dae's National Security Office, involved in the discussions, as reported by Yonhap and KBS World.
